Rubbish Dump

Gwynston

I live near Claregalway - where would my local ethical rubbish collection site be? I'm not sure what they take at Carrowbrowne, or whether you have to pay for it. I think you have to pay Galway Metal near Oranmore to drop stuff off.

I mostly have metal rubbish to get rid of - electronics, pots & pans, an old kettle barbeque. But I also have some other general rubbish too bulky to put in the bin. e.g. what is the best way to dispose of all that expanded polystyrene which electrical equipment comes packaged in?

You can check with http://www.walshwaste.com/ or go to the waste centre on Headford road, abouts mile to your right after the halting site (heading from Galway).

city bin depot near Oranmore is good value and open Saturday mornings... check website..

drop the metal stuff off into Galway Metal on the way in (next door) and you might even get a few bob for it...

electronics not sure - keep an eye on http://www.weeeireland.ie/ for public collection days..

The council yard in the Liosban estate will take a lot of that for free.

I've always found that the best way to deal with polystyrene packaging is breaking it up using a combination of a bread/slab knife and liberal use of the foot, chuck the small bits into the recycling..
